How to mass change user timezone and gender?

[Andy.N]

So i set my board timezone to EST (GMT-5) and then import VB data. When I look at each user's info, their timezone is still set at Dublin which is default for Xenforo.

How do I mass change them.
Since my users are majority male, how do I mass change them to male?

Do you have access to phpMyAdmin?
Timezone and gender is stored in the xf_user table so a couple of SQL queries should sort that.

What is your server's time zone?

of course I do.
But why won't XF keep the original timezone of user's profile when it imports from VB? Isn't that a bug?

It could be an issue with the importer.

I haven't seen any other posts related to this issue though so it might be worth posting it as a bug report so it can be tracked down.

Query for gender:

UPDATE xf_user
SET gender = 'male'

Query for time zone:

UPDATE xf_user
SET timezone = 'America/New_York'

I tested these queries and they work.

Here is hoping for a SQL query tool directly from AminCP. It's one of the useful tools I like from VB.

This does not work for me. I tried

UPDATE xf_user
SET timezone = 'Europe/Paris'

and

UPDATE xf_user
SET timezone = 'Europe/Berlin'

But it shows then UTC-11 American Samoa

Did something change in XF1.1.3?
